Why the council will not help much
Bury says items must be left whole at your usual bin point, front garden or driveway, and it will not collect from a back garden, yard, shed, garage or from inside a property, including flats. A loft is mostly boxes and bags, and bagged household waste is on the refused list. Anything that is accepted has to be carried to the front, whole, and counted towards the five-item limit.
